Larry would always be sure to call me to remind me of your upcoming revivals. I am so sorry for your loss, he was a great guy, loving Jesus is what he did best, now he is with the Lord, and that makes me smile! Praying for you Nelda, thanks for being such a great wife, boy did he love you! Till we meet again. Larry you did good, thanks for all you did for helping me with my walk with Jesus! Please tell Brother Lewis I said hi! Trent
